"There are many budget-friendly options available in the market for direct purchase. Old local shops in every city or town often offer unique and exquisite art pieces. The flea markets in the cities or towns are a good option for buying home décor pieces and artefacts. Moreover, these days many art and craft creators sell their handmade products on social media platforms that are not only distinctive but also affordable. You can even go for upcycling the budget-friendly furniture as it helps in giving some uniqueness and is also light on the pocket. Like an old ladder can be reused by styling it as a beautiful bookshelf. The use of mirrors can make a room look large and mirrors are affordable too. Using affordable fabrics to make curtains, cushions, etc. out of it, also creates a vibrant vibe. Adding budget-friendly indoor plants can add a fresh décor vibe," says Pavnendra Bhadauria, CEO of Artarium.

Nishith Gupta, Managing Director, Sapana Carpet-Mats, shared with HT Lifestyle some creative home decor hacks for a perfect festive makeover.

1. Mats with Rangoli Designs

Start by placing decorative mats at the entrance of your home. Opt for mats with intricate designs and patterns. These mats not only welcome guests but also set the tone for the festival.

2. Colourful Doormats

Spice up your doorstep with colourful doormats that match the festive spirit. Consider mats in bright shades like red, yellow, or green, adorned with traditional motifs or messages of prosperity and good luck.

3. Elegant Floor Rugs

Lay down elegant floor rugs in your living room or puja room. Choose rugs with paisley patterns, floral motifs, or ornate designs. The right carpet can enhance the ambience of your home during the festivities.

4. Theme-based Runners

Kitchen runners with Ganesh Chaturthi themes can add charm to your cooking area. Look for runners incorporating vibrant colours, sacred symbols, or traditional patterns. These can create a cohesive decor theme throughout your home.

5. Rangoli-Inspired Wall Art

Extend the rangoli theme to your walls by incorporating rangoli-inspired wall decals or paintings. These can be temporary and easily removed after the festival. The wall art can complement your mats and rugs, tying the decor together.

6. Multi-functional Decor

Some mats and rugs can be used beyond Ganesh Chaturthi. Invest in multi-functional decor items that can be repurposed for other occasions or daily use, ensuring your investment goes a long way.

7. Nature-inspired Decor

Consider mats and rugs made from eco-friendly materials like jute or bamboo. These add a rustic charm to your decor and promote sustainability.
